	Even now I see him walking home at sundown						Even now I see him walking home at sundown
1	He's whistling rock of ages with his lunchbox at his side						he's whistling rock of ages with his lunchbox at his side	1
	I still recall the smell of smoke and ashes on his jacket						I still recall the smell of smoke and ashes on his jacket
2	And that factory dust was on his shoes the afternoon he died						and that factory dust was on his shoes the afternoon he died	2
	I swore I'd never heed that factory whistle						I swore I'd never heed that factory whistle
3	In a banker's cage I signed a loan against my future sins						in a banker's cage I signed a loan against my future sins	3
4	All the neighbors shook my hand and wished me well upon my leaving						all the neighbours shook my hand	4
5	Though                         my father was a poor man he owned a wealth of friends						and wished me well upon my leaving	5
1							though my father was a poor man he owned a wealth of friends	1
	So take these boots that shine like Judas silver						So take these boots that shine like Judas silver
6	And all these sad reflections on lost untraveled roads						and all these sad reflections on lost untravelled roads	6
7	While the rain falls on a field of bones and roses						while the rain falls on a field of bones and roses	7
8	Give me back my father's shoes and let me walk in those						give me back my father's shoes and let me walk in those	8
9	My stroke was good, the deals fell fast and easy						My stroke was good, the deals fell fast end easy	9
	I hired the sweat of honest men and took the lion's share						I hired the sweat of honest men and took the lion's share
10	My wardrobe filled with shirts of silk and boots of tender leather						my wardrobe filled with shirts of silk	10
11	And I walked in them the halls of power but found no comfort there						and boots                               of tender leather	11
2							and I walked in them the halls of power	2
3							but found no comfort there	3
	So take these boots that shine like Judas silver						So take these boots that shine like Judas silver
12	And all these sad reflections on lost untraveled roads						and all these sad reflections on lost untravelled roads	12
13	While the rain falls on a field of bones and roses						while the rain falls on a field of bones and roses	13
14	Give me back my father's shoes and let me walk in those						give me back my father's shoes and let me walk in those	14
	Lady lay these boots upon the fire						Lady lay these boots upon the fire
15	'Cause lady now I swear I'll never wear this pair again						'cause lady now I swear I'll never wear this pair again	15
16	I meant to stand up straight and tall, it never was that easy						I meant to stand up straight and tall	16
17	Now these soles are stained from walking on the dreams of better men						it never was that easy	17
4							now these soles are stained from walking on the dreams	4
5							of better men	5
	So take these boots that shine like Judas silver						So take these boots that shine like Judas silver
18	And all these sad reflections on lost untraveled roads						and all these sad reflections on lost untravelled roads	18
19	While the rain falls on a field of bones and roses						while the rain falls on a field of bones and roses	19
20	Give me back my father's shoes and let me walk in those						give me back my father's shoes and let me walk in those	20
